Oral health plays a significant role in overall, general, health and your cannot be healthy without healthy gums and teeth. But there is more to oral health than just the gums and teeth. Mercury amalgam (silver) fillings can contribute to chronic mercury poisoning and cause mercury to accumulate in your body. Mercury is one of the most poisonous non-radioactive substances on our planet and even one atom of it is harmful. Mercury can directly, or indirectly, cause, contribute, or make worse every health problem you are dealing with.

The Poison in Your Teeth is vital for women who are planning to have a family and are unsure or skeptical about how these fillings affect them, the fetus, nursing baby and child. Dr. McGuire’s book is a must read for dentists, health professionals, and anyone who wants to have these fillings safely removed, detoxify mercury from the body, and improve their overall health. Browse The Poison in Your Teeth.

Environmental Mercury

Making the dental office mercury safe, including for the mercury free dentist, the staff, and the patient.

Making the environment safe from mercury.

All of these issues must be taken into consideration if you truly want to be healthy and any efforts by your health professional to treat any health issue related to oral health will not be successful unless your oral health is dealt with.

Mercury and Dental Materials Biocompatibility Testing Laboratories

A number of excellent testing laboratories are available. I suggest the following for the tests we recommend. Your health professional may have his own preference.

This is the website for the Clifford Consulting & Research. This laboratory offers the Clifford Materials Reactivity Test that can provide dentists and physicians with important information about their patients individual sensitivities so that least offensive materials can chosen and used in treating the patient in the safest possible way. There are over 2,000 different dental materials that can be used in treating dental and gum disease and a substance that causes little or no reaction in one person can prove harmful to another. Keep in mind that if you are allergic to a food you can stop eating it but if it is a filling, or other permanent dental materials, it is there 24/7/365. I recommend this test to anyone who has mercury related symptoms or diseases, immune system issues and especially for those with allergies and sensitivities; either to environmental substances, foods, or chemicals.

MELISA® Test

The only proven blood test for metal allergy, including mercury. Metals can be a factor behind Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, multiple sclerois and othe of the so-called modern diseases. See below for the list of Melisa laboratories in the USA.
